            a moment passed and the blond took a deep breath before using one hand to close the cover of his book that was on the table.  he doubted he was going to get to read anymore at this point.  he then crossed his arms and looked up at kokichi.  he stared at him for a while,  his expression entirely unamused.  it was almost amusing,  this situation.  it elicited a slight snicker from him.  "i am /far/ from dumb,  though,  at this rate,  i doubt the same can be said for you.  i have no idea what /box/ you speak of,  nor have i been in your /room/.  you must be confusing me for another blond."  he uttered with a slight scoff,  his head shaking.

kokichi wasn’t about to leave the library without retrieving what was his. he had scowled his brows, returning the blond’s glare with one of his own. it was rare to see the supreme leader in such a fit; what was weirder was that it seemed serious and harmless at the same time. “don’t play dumb, blondie!” he retorted with his finger still pointed at him. “i saw you walking into my room yesterday! thought i didn’t see you, huh?” he didn’t consider the possibility that it was probably the ultimate impostor, but since he didn’t know about his existence, he really thought it was byakuya.

            when he heard some barge into the library,  byakuya seemly sighed out in mild annoyance.  he didn't quite care what was going on,  just as long as it didn't bother him.  unfortunately,  that didn't seem to be the case.  when he was pointed at,  with that loud 'you' directed at him,  the togami family heir rose an eyebrow.  he set his book down on the table in front of him,  his arms crossing over his chest afterwards.  "your /box/?"  the blond fixed his cold,  blue glare on the shorter male.  "sorry,  but i have no idea what you're talking about.  it seems you have the wrong person."

@Ioservibes /*   awww lol pls byakuya is just tsundere lmao jkjk
            
            obviously you need a better prescription,  then.  *  the blond stated with a scoff then huffed out loud and pushed his glasses up further.  *  listen,  even if i /did/ smile,  a compliment from a loser like you wouldn't mean much at all.

            :: he actually wants 2 be friends but kuya is also stuck up so hes trying2 live the best of both worlds

@Ioservibes /*   rip kuya ;-; lmao jkjk
            
            excuse me?  i think you might need to get your eyes checked.  it's clear that you can't see anything if you thought /i/ was smiling.

            *  first and foremost,  byakuya togami /never/ decorated for christmas.  he had no idea /how/ to.  of course,  he wasn't planning on admitting that.  especially to makoto.  *  truthfully,  i really don't want to but fine.  i'll go if it keeps you from pestering me.

yeah  !  that’s  what  i  said  ,  silly  !!  *  makato  let  out  a  quiet  hum  as  he  thought  ,  chuckling  even  to  himself  .  *  well  ,  the  company  would  be  nice  for  the  both  of  us  .  plus  decorating  for  holidays  is  always  really  fun  with  another  person  !  c’mon  ,  what  do  you  say  ?

@regrettingIuckiness 
            
            /what/?  *  the young man snapped lowly when he heard his name spouted like three times,  sighing out as he shut his eyes.  he listened to makoto's request then huffed under his breath.  *  you want me to help you /decorate/ for christmas?  and why would i agree to that?

@Iosercore 
            
            *  the other's grin only made his frown deepen,  his glare as cold as ice.  he then pushed his glasses up further.  *  you're bothering me.  do me a favor and make yourself scarce. 

( @progenyscorn )
            
            t-too bad! your tie is f-f-fixed, all thanks t-to me. * he grinned up at him. he had the dorkiest smile. why he ever thought he was cool is a mystery to all. *

@Ioservibes
            
            *  byakuya was clearly unamused.  he 'tch'-ed and then rolled his eyes.  *  yes,  i /do/ have butlers but that doesn't mean i can't do things myself.  i certainly don't need help from a loser like /you/.

@regrettingIuckiness 
            
            "whatever."  byakuya murmured coldly with a low 'tch' then shook his head.  he watched makoto as he took the glasses and then put them on himself,  his blue eyes narrowing.  it was hard to see,  though,  considering his vision was blurry and all.  "see?  that was a waste of time."  he scoffed and took them back,  holding the glasses up to check the lenses before putting them back on.  and finally,  the elevator slowly came to a stop.  

“  thank  you  byakuya  !  you’re  the  best  !!  “  makato  chuckled  —  no  ,  /  giggled  /  —  briefly  as  he  took  the  glasses  from  the  other  ,  being  extra  careful  with  them  as  he  placed  them  onto  his  face  .  instantly  ,  his  face  scrunched  up  as  it  got  a  little  harder  to  see  .  trying  to  let  his  eyes  adjust  then  ,  he  took  them  off  moments  later  .  “  wow  .  .  .  here  you  go  .  “  he  softly  tapped  the  other’s  shoulder  ,  holding  out  the  glasses  .

@regrettingIuckiness 
            
            "makoto."  that made him huff and squeeze his blue eyes shut.  why was he being so stubborn like this?  so desperate to try on his /glasses/.  after a moment,  he pulled them off with one hand and held them out towards makoto slightly.  "hurry up."  he stated coldly,  not opening his eyes.  his vision would be pretty blurry so what was the point?

            i try not to attend too many parties,  especially if they're unimportant.  *  then he scoffed.  *  friends?  don't be stupid.  friends are a waste of time. 

( @progenyscorn )
            
            jeez, man. y-you must be a /delight/ at p-p-parties, * alix rolled his eyes, * fuckin'.. do you, like, have a-any friends?

@ssoursweetheart 
            
            i am respectful to anyone who could be a potential business partner to the togami corporation.  anyone who could be beneficial to our company.  there's no point doing the same for anyone else who i don't care about.  *  his shoulders gave a slight shrug.  *

@tinyteckie 
            
            i did /what/?  *  that made the blond frown for a moment,  pursing his lips.  he listened to chihiro and then gave a low 'tch'.  he looked away,  closing his eyes for only a moment.  *  i did /not/.  no one here has a mindset even /close/ to mine..  i have a far superior intellect.  *  then he sighed.  *  you're free to throw your trust around and trust anyone but i /won't/.  i can only trust myself.

* byakuya ' s words lit up in chihiro ' s mind . it created an idea that sent the boy beaming as he shook his head and put on a smile . * i - i think you just proved / my / point . monokuma can ' t turn ' anyone ' into a killer , if they have similar mindsets to you when it comes to motives , right ? so maybe it ' s not impossible to be able trust certain people here ! * he couldn ' t help but giggle a little . hope is such an uplifting force and he had plenty of it . *

@tinyteckie 
            
            that's my /point/.  on our own,  none of us,  minus the serial killer,  would murder anyone.  yet,  we /aren't/ on our own.  we have monokuma manipulating us,  giving us motives.  that can turn anyone into a /killer/.  maybe even a little girl like /you/.  *  he shook his head.  in situations like this,  trust shouldn't be thrown around.  trust people?  believe in them?  what childish thinking.  he snorted,  then smirked a bit.  *  i don't think i'd ever resort to killing,  no.  that would take all the fun out of it for me.  

thank  you  ,  kuya  .  *  makato  gave  a  small  smile  as  he  exited  out  of  the  door  ,  stopping  outside  of  it  for  a  moment  .  “  i  enjoyed  spending  some  time  with  you  today  ,  really  .  *  he  then  made  his  way  towards  the  kitchen  ,  pouring  out  the  coffee  into  the  sink  then  and  washing  out  both  of  the  cups  carefully  .  *

@regrettingIuckiness 
            
            the door?  *  the blond glanced over from the corner of his eye before exhaling.  *  i suppose i can.  i'd rather not WATCH you spill coffee.  it'd only make me /more/ disappointed in you.  *  he sighed before stepping closer to the door.  byakuya opened it then held it open for makoto to exit first,  an eyebrow slightly raised.  *  i don't have all day to stand here so do try to leave quickly.

*  makato  nodded  softly  ,  his  frown  slowly  forming  into  a  friendly  smile  ,  taking  the  cup  into  his  other  hand  .  *  i‘ll  try  harder  !  but  —  hey  byakuya  .  .  .  can  you  get  the  door  ,  please  ?  *  he  looked  down  at  his  hands  ,  one  holding  the  empty  cup  while  the  other  held  a  cup  with  just  a  few  drinks  taken  out  of  it  .  *  .  .  .  i  don’t  wanna  spill  coffee  anywhere  .  *  he  added  ,  looking  back  up  to  byakuya  before  softly  motioning  to  the  door  with  his  elbow  .  *
